Temperature Monitor Cabled - Manual 3. Physical Installation Before installing the sensor in its final position, please ensure: 1. All the necessary configuration parameters have been set (number of channels and order, emissivity, startup delay time). 2. There are provisions for installing the required 120 Ω CAN bus termination resistors.

Temperature Monitor Cabled - Manual 4. Electrical Installation The kit´s sensors will come with a DTM04-4P connector. The mating connector is DTM06-4S. • Pin 1 – GND • Pin 2 – 12V • Pin 3 – CAN Low • Pin 4 – CAN High CAN Connectivity Every CAN bus network requires two 120 Ohm resistors placed at each end, as the diagram below (Rterm = 120 Ohms) shows.
